Again, I don't care to ever see Matt Schaub in a Texans uniform again. But I don't want to see the Texans shoot themselves in the foot for some misplaced hatred. There were several QBs playing as poorly as Schaub to start 2013 (for whatever reason) each hurting their teams chances of winning. Those franchises stuck it out with their guy; Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer... & they all managed to end the season better off than we did (well, we got the #1 pick... none of them made the play-offs).

Phillip Rivers was thought of as "worse" than Schaub just two years ago, last year he "bounced back."

We need to objectively consider all our options, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah well Smith trashed the cap and still has a job for some reason. That's a whole different issue.

I wouldn't say trashed. We "thought" we were Super Bowl contenders. Gotta pay to play.

I still think Schaub's contract was just shy of genius. He evaluated Matt correctly, recognized the risks, & provided several outs for himself. Flacco, Ryan, Romo, Cutler.... at the time, I wouldn't have taken any of those for Schaub & those teams married themselves to those QBs. Flacco, maybe. But I wouldn't have given him the money he got for sure. Somewhere between what Schaub got & what Flacco got.

We can cut Schaub (& several others) for a net gain in 2014. We can use the June 1st option & it's a big gain.

I just don't see shifting $7M of the Cap hit to 2015 when we need it most.

He's not Bill O'Brien. And if we take a QB at 1-1 Bill O'Brien will be making that selection. And he sure as sh!t isn't talking to Tony Pauline or Jason LaCanfora or Tony Soprano or any other NFL rumor-mongering media types trying to boost their Twitter following.

Team sources quit telling the truth to the media regarding the draft when their slot was set. If fun for us to play in, but take it fwiw.
